So I went to a Vintage Stock today and bought an old collector's book/graphic novel of the "Death of Superman" story from the mid/late '90s. I remember reading this and having it when I was in highschool but in the intervening years those comics are either long gone or in a box somewhere at the parent's house.

Anyway, I was flipping through the issue -haven't read it yet- and something odd stood out to me that I don't quite remember.

Supergirl flies up to Doomsday to fight him and he punches her, we see her face plop out like it's play-dough and then this purple mass lands on the ground.

Did Doomsday punch Supergirl out of her skin?! Or am I forgetting/missing something here?

It gets better. Matrix then bonded to a dead girl and the two of them became an Earth Angel. Together they fought the first vampire and his mother, Lilith who were trying to control the female aspect of God embodied in Matrix.

Never got the appeal of this version of Supergirl. Not that sympathizing with a shapeshifting glob of goo is all that out of the ordinary in the comic book world, but if I read a Supergirl story, I want it to be about Supergirl. Not some confused alien lifeform that's simply taking her form.
